Definitions
- This invention relates generally to digital imaging, and, more particularly, to a system and method for editing digital images.
- digital photography is advantageous over traditional photography since the repetitive costs of film and chemical processing are eliminated.
- digital photography files provide a permanent storage format previously unavailable to photographers.
- image editing operations may be performed on digital photographs, including cropping, color enhancement, changes to brightness, color, or luminosity, or image effects.
- the edited images may have different image characteristics. Therefore, the edited images may not be combined or otherwise used together without some degree of difficulty.
- a system for editing digital images forms an image template containing a selected record of one or more image editing operations performed on a first image to obtain a first edited image.
- the image template also contains the first edited image.
- the system then applies the image template to one or more second images.
- the selected record of the one or more image editing operations is stored with the first edited image in an image file.
- the selected record of image editing operations is stored in a storage file separate from the first edited image.
- FIG. 1A is a block diagram illustrating one embodiment of a system for editing digital images.
- FIG. 1B is a block diagram of one embodiment of an operating environment in which the system illustrated in FIG. 1A may function.

- server 101 performs the image editing operations on the retrieved image to obtain the edited image.
- client 103 may directly perform the image editing operations on the retrieved image.
- Server 101 then selectively stores the image editing operations in the database module 112 and provides the edited image to client 103 . It should be noted that a wide variety of services other than the services described above may be provided by server 101 to client 103 without loss of generality. In one embodiment, server 101 displays various advertisements when providing a service to one or more clients 103 . In this embodiment, server 101 may receive compensation from a source whose advertisements are presented to client(s) 103 .

- a part of this functionality is performed by a module or several modules residing on client 103 (e.g., image editing module 110 resides on client 103 and database module 112 resides on server 101 ).
- all modules performing the above functionality reside on client 103 , and client 103 may or may not be connected to server 101 .
- server 101 hosts a web site and is part of, or coupled to, an Internet Service Provider (ISP) 135 to provide services over the Internet.
- ISP Internet Service Provider
- the client computer 103 executes a conventional Internet browsing application to exchange data with the server 101 . It is readily apparent that the present invention is not limited to Internet access and Internet web-based sites; directly coupled and private networks are also contemplated.
- FIG. 1C One embodiment of a computer system 140 suitable for use as server 101 is illustrated in FIG. 1C .
- computer system 140 may also be suitable for use as client 103 .
- Computer system 140 includes a processor 150 , a memory 155 and input/output capability 160 coupled to a system bus 165 .
- Memory 155 is configured to store instructions which, when executed by processor 150 , perform the methods described herein.
- Input/output 160 provides for the delivery and display of information to the users.
- Input/output 160 also encompasses various types of computer-readable media, including any type of storage device that is accessible by the processor 150 .
- computer-readable medium/media further encompasses a carrier wave that encodes a data signal.
- server 101 is controlled by operating system software executing in memory 155 .
- Input/output and related media 160 store the computer-executable instructions for the operating system and methods of the present invention.
- FIG. 1B and FIG. 1C are intended to provide an overview of computer hardware and other operating components suitable for implementing the invention, but is not intended to limit the applicable environments.
- computer system 140 is one example of many possible computer systems that have different architectures.
- a typical computer system will usually include at least a processor, memory, and a bus coupling the memory to the processor.
- processors e.g., central processing units
- bus coupling the memory to the processor e.g., a bus coupling the memory to the processor.
- One of skill in the art will immediately appreciate that the invention can be practiced with other computer system configurations, including microprocessor systems, minicomputers, mainframe computers, and the like.
- the invention can also be practiced in distributed computing environments where tasks are performed by remote processing devices that are linked through a communications network.
- FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 are flow diagrams of one embodiment of a method for editing digital images from the server's perspective and, respectively, from the client's perspective.
- the methods constitute computer programs made up of computer-executable instructions illustrated as blocks (acts) 210 – 290 in FIG. 2 , and blocks (acts) 310 – 395 in FIG. 3 .
